We conduct local tours, which are usually free, where members drive themselves and meet at the tour location. We also organize daylong bus trips to destinations that expand our horizons a little farther afield. Along with learning something new on each tour, we also enjoy the social opportunities of touring with fellow OLLI members.
Committee members have opportunities for personal development in researching, organizing, and conducting the tours. We work with the tour sites, restaurants, bus company, and the OLLI Curriculum Committee to set up each tour. We look for knowledgeable experts to lead and accompany each tour. We also handle the tour reservations, keeping an accurate list and reminding members of their upcoming reservations.
At the OLLI office, the committee maintains a bulletin board of OLLI tour topics, and a table for take-home travel literature and brochures.
